Product details
This genuine high voltage capacitor, part 3157959-02/8 (also written 3157959028), is rated 1.05uF at 2300V for Electrolux group microwaves. It works with the transformer, diode and magnetron in the high voltage circuit that does the cooking. The description also notes 6PIN, so compare the terminal layout as well as the capacitance and voltage on your old capacitor's label before ordering.
Microwave running but not heating?
In the high voltage circuit, the capacitor and diode work together to roughly double the transformer's output so the magnetron can generate microwaves. When the capacitor fails, the microwave usually lights up, the turntable spins and the fan runs, yet the food stays cold. A shorted capacitor can also blow the main fuse or cause a loud hum or buzz. Sometimes it bulges or leaks, but often there is no visible sign. Faults in the magnetron, diode or transformer cause similar symptoms, so a technician should test the circuit before parts are ordered.

Safety first with microwave capacitors
The high voltage capacitor can hold a lethal charge long after the microwave is unplugged. This is a job for a qualified microwave technician, not a home repair. The technician will unplug the oven, discharge the capacitor safely, then fit the new part with each lead on its original terminal. After reassembly the microwave should be tested for correct heating and checked for leakage before use.
Questions about this part
Can I replace the capacitor myself?
We strongly advise against it. Microwave capacitors store enough energy to kill even when the appliance is unplugged. Have a qualified technician test the circuit and fit 3157959-02/8, and they can check the diode and magnetron while the cover is off.
